A17218	Looke from Adam, and behold the Protestants faith and religion evidently proued out of the holy Scriptures against all atheists, papists, loose libertines, and carnall gospellers: and that the faith which they professe, hath continued from the beginning of the world, and so is the true and ancient faith. Herein hast thou also a short summe of the whole Bible, and a plaine manifestation, that all holy men who have pleased God, have beene saved through this Christian faith alone.; Alte Glaube.

because_o we_o may_v not_o describe_v it_o after_o our_o own_o judgement_n we_o will_v rehearse_v the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n which_o write_v to_o the_o hebrew_n 11.1_o say_v after_o this_o manner_n faith_n be_v a_o substance_n of_o thing_n to_o be_v hope_v for_o a_o evidence_n or_o certainty_n of_o thing_n which_o do_v not_o appear_v by_o the_o which_o definition_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o when_o we_o set_v forth_o or_o teach_v this_o faith_n we_o mean_v no_o vain_a faith_n no_o false_a opinion_n of_o faith_n no_o fond_a imagination_n of_o faith_n no_o dead_a faith_n no_o idle_a faith_n but_o a_o substantial_a thing_n even_o a_o sure_a belief_n of_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v hope_v for_o and_o a_o proof_n experience_n or_o knowledge_n of_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o see_v this_o faith_n than_o be_v the_o instrument_n whereby_o we_o feel_v and_o be_v certain_a of_o heavenly_a thing_n that_o our_o corporal_a eye_n can_v see_v now_o because_o none_o other_o virtue_n can_v so_o apprehend_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n nor_o certify_v we_o so_o effectual_o of_o our_o salvation_n as_o this_o live_a faith_n do_v therefore_o have_v the_o scripture_n impute_v our_o justification_n before_o god_n only_o unto_o faith_n among_o all_o other_o virtue_n not_o without_o other_o virtue_n follow_v but_o without_o any_o other_o work_n or_o deed_n justify_v this_o be_v the_o faith_n of_o christ_n 2.14_o which_o all_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o this_o be_v the_o faith_n that_o s._n paul_n preach_v to_o justify_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n as_o s._n james_n teach_v that_o work_v justify_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n and_o that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o dead_a faith_n which_o have_v no_o work_n this_o be_v the_o faith_n without_o the_o which_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v god_n and_o of_o the_o which_o whatsoever_o proceed_v not_o be_v sin_n this_o be_v the_o faith_n whereby_o god_n purify_v our_o heart_n 11.4_o and_o who_o end_n be_v salvation_n this_o be_v the_o faith_n that_o work_v by_o charity_n or_o godly_a love_n &_o be_v of_o value_n before_o god_n this_o be_v the_o faith_n whereby_o the_o holy_a father_n which_o be_v afore_o christ_n incarnation_n do_v in_o spirit_n eat_v and_o drink_v &_o enjoy_v the_o same_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n that_o we_o be_v partaker_n of_o to_o be_v short_a this_o be_v the_o same_o faith_n whereby_o god_n save_v those_o his_o elect_a of_o who_o s._n paul_n make_v mention_n in_o the_o foresay_a epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n and_o rehearse_v many_o godly_a fruit_n of_o the_o same_o in_o their_o conversation_n this_o then_o be_v no_o new-fangled_a faith_n no_o strange_a faith_n no_o faith_n invent_v by_o man_n brain_n but_o even_o the_o same_o that_o god_n holy_a spirit_n teach_v in_o the_o infallible_a truth_n of_o his_o scripture_n and_o that_o adam_n abel_n enoch_n and_o all_o the_o other_o servant_n of_o god_n be_v save_v in_o why_o do_v man_n therefore_o either_o call_v it_o a_o new-fangled_a faith_n or_o report_v evil_a of_o we_o for_o set_v it_o forth_o why_o i_o fear_v i_o this_o be_v one_o cause_n the_o old_a faith_n that_o all_o those_o servant_n of_o god_n have_v who_o the_o apostle_n name_v in_o the_o eleven_o to_o the_o hebrew_n 5._o have_v a_o life_n and_o conversation_n join_v unto_o it_o which_o be_v rich_a and_o full_a of_o all_o good_a work_n therefore_o see_v there_o be_v so_o many_o babbler_n and_o pratler_n of_o faith_n and_o so_o few_o that_o bring_v forth_o the_o worthy_a fruit_n of_o repentance_n it_o give_v the_o world_n occasion_n to_o report_v of_o we_o that_o our_o faith_n be_v but_o new-fangled_a they_o see_v we_o not_o fall_v to_o labour_n and_o take_n of_o pain_n as_o adam_n do_v they_o see_v not_o the_o righteousness_n and_o thankfulness_n in_o we_o that_o be_v in_o abel_n they_o see_v we_o not_o walk_v after_o the_o word_n and_o will_n of_o god_n as_o enoch_n do_v they_o see_v we_o not_o take_v god_n warning_n so_o earnest_o as_o no_n do_v they_o see_v we_o not_o so_o obedient_a to_o the_o voice_n of_o god_n nor_o so_o well_o willing_a and_o content_a to_o leave_v our_o friend_n to_o forsake_v our_o own_o will_n our_o own_o land_n and_o good_n at_o god_n calling_n and_o dwell_v in_o a_o strange_a country_n to_o do_v god_n pleasure_n as_o abraham_n do_v they_o see_v that_o we_o choose_v not_o rather_o to_o suffer_v adversity_n with_o the_o people_n of_o god_n than_o to_o enjoy_v the_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n for_o a_o season_n they_o see_v we_o not_o esteem_v the_o rebuke_n of_o christ_n or_o trouble_v for_o his_o sake_n to_o be_v great_a riches_n than_o all_o the_o treasure_n of_o this_o world_n as_o moses_n do_v to_o be_v short_a they_o see_v not_o in_o our_o garden_n those_o sweet_a flower_n and_o fruit_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n which_o be_v in_o they_o that_o have_v the_o old_a faith_n ashamed_a may_v we_o be_v therefore_o as_o many_o of_o we_o as_o either_o write_v teach_v preach_v speak_v or_o talk_v of_o the_o old_a faith_n if_o we_o endeavour_v not_o ourselves_o to_o have_v those_o old_a heavenly_a virtue_n that_o be_v ever_o plentiful_a in_o all_o god_n true_a servant_n in_o every_o one_o i_o mean_v according_a to_o his_o call_n not_o that_o it_o be_v evil_a to_o teach_v or_o talk_v of_o the_o true_a old_a faith_n but_o this_o i_o say_v 21_o
